He's much much better! The bruising is almost gone, but he freakin' hates the sock on his head! I have been having to keep him doped up because he keeps trying to get frisky! He is also LOVING that I have to make sure he eats with the Doxycycline! He's totally taking advantage and eating only wet food with his cute little sick baby face! We go back Wednesday to have the drain checked, but now it's mostly wait for the round of antibiotics to finish and then we'll retest his blood to see if they helped or if we need to run tests for disease.

She said it looks good and that it didn't have any fluid which is good, and she checked his belly for bruising. There was a little bruise by his weenie, but she said just to watch it to make sure it doesn't get any bigger and that it was probably left over from the original bruising.

Second ear drain check yesterday...There was new redness around his neuter incision Monday and both our vet and I were a little worried, but it turns out it is just irritation from the stitches which is normal!

She checked his ear, asked the other vet to see what she thought, and decided to take the drain out early since it looked so good! She is leaning toward a blood infection of some sort. Since the ear looked so good and he isn't getting new bruising she thinks the Doxycycline is probably working. We did need to leave the neuter incision stitches in because there was a little spot that wasn't closed completely so those will come out next week and a new CBC blood test to see where we're at!

On a side note...Thor amazes me everyday! He will be 8 June 13th. Up until recently, I'd say within the past 2 years, he didn't trust or like any person but my husband or myself. I was always extremely careful with him and wouldn't let anyone touch him in any way - even our vet would basically just shoot his shots in his butt and I'd have to show his teeth and ears for his annuals. But yesterday was HUGE!!! He has been great with my vet/friend for easily those 2 years, but yesterday he let her take all 4 sutures and the drain out of his ear with just me holding his head and giving him treats! He just laid there like it was never and issue. He's even been kissing her and getting petted! I had him doing touches and shakes for treats from all the girls and even a client Where there is a will, there is a way. So proud of my bad baby!!!

3 month CBC retest came back NORMAL!!! It had to be some kind of blood infection.

He is so awesome and absolutely back to his normal smart mouth self! We even sat in the waiting room for 15 minutes with an old lady with a cat in a carrier, another lady holding a Pomeranian, a couple with a big Conure, and Angel the office kitty! He got pets and treats from everyone...even the lab guy who was there to take his blood sample! <3
